Hi all,
With Uranus now officially in the sign of Gemini, I’d like to check in with you!
What to Expect with Uranus now in Gemini
In the last few days, you’ve probably heard every astrologer on earth talking about Uranus finally leaving Taurus, where it’s spent the past seven years shaking up money, values, security systems, and the very ground under our feet. That long transit officially ended on April 25, 2026, when Uranus made its much-anticipated ingress into Gemini, beginning a new seven-year chapter focused on communication, ideas, technology, networks, and the very ways we connect and think. For anyone with Gemini Ascendant, Gemini Midheaven, Sun, Moon, or other key planets in Gemini, this transit can be dramatic, electrifying, and utterly transformative — the kind of shift that feels like the future knocking, the moment the past must finally let go. Mutable signs in general (Sagittarius, Virgo and Pisces) will also be greatly affected by Uranus in Gemini,
What makes this particular ingress so interesting in 2026 is how it interacts with the slower background architecture of the chart. While the Pisces-Virgo nodal axis hasn’t completely exited the stage until July 26, 2026, Uranus in Gemini will eventually square that axis and oppose Sagittarius — meaning the push toward freedom, innovation, and breaking old patterns will have to reckon with the deep internal restructuring that many of us have been living through. My sense is that the weight of Saturn’s long, pressure-cooker transit over mutable signs will prime us to use Uranus’s energy not just as chaos, but as an engine for liberation — throwing off the last of the chains we’ve been stuck in and finally running headfirst into change. But Uranus never arrives quietly. There’s discomfort, some knee shaking, and usually a little tossing out of outdated habits before the lightning strikes. But after years of Saturn’s sustained tests, Uranus’s invitation to reinvent, rethink, and recode feels not just tolerable, but downright necessary. Let’s go Gemini! We’re routing for you.
On a larger collective level, Uranus in Gemini is exciting territory for how we communicate, educate, and interface with technology — especially as we watch other outer-planetary cycles like Pluto slowly reshape society’s infrastructures. The idea that Pluto in Aquarius will be amplifying innovation and collective systems while Uranus charges through Gemini’s realm of information and technology feels nothing short of miraculous. Over the next seven years, the way we think, talk, teach, code, and connect will continue to evolve — and by the time Uranus leaves Gemini, the world will quite literally function differently.
AI and ASTROLOGY
First of all, if you’re someone who uses AI for astrology, you’ll want to take a peek at a recent video I did asking “William” (my ChatGPT buddy) the easiest astrology question of all time – where are each of the planets right now (what sign and degree). It was shocking to see how poorly he did. Click on the image below to watch the video on Instagram. If you’re not already following me on IG, I am trying to do more videos including “Guess that sign,” so it’s a good time to pop over and take a look.

My Consult Schedule, Fee Increases & More Boundaries for Me!
I have tried to open up some afternoons and evening appointments as well as my usual mornings over the next couple of months, so if you’re interested in a consult, now would be the best time to book. I am having a couple of minor surgeries in June and July and will be taking some time off then. I won’t really know how much time will be required until I get through my first one mid-June.
As a reminder, this coming weekend, my fees will be increasing to be more in line with the going rate for astrologers with my skills and experience.
With Uranus squaring my natal Sun and Saturn on my natal Venus, I will also be making some changes to my consults. As long as I have been doing consults, I have rarely finished a consult within the actual time allotted. I have been going long over my appointment times mostly because I’m an incredibly (overly) empathetic person who wants to give my clients as much help as I possibly can in one session. [I am the worst business person ever!] While clients might love it, I just can’t physically do it anymore. I have yet to attend a consult with another astrologer or professional of any kind that doesn’t end within a few minutes of the agreed upon end time. [Melanie, what have you been doing all these years?] So, for the first time ever and as much as it makes me cringe to even have to put this in writing, I need you to know that I will be respecting and adhering to the allotted times of our appointments. If you feel as if you’d like to spend some more time with me, then a follow-up appointment at a discounted rate will be available to book.
I will be making some additional changes to the types of consults I will be offering and the amount of time I spend in consults as well in the next couple of months, and I will announce those changes as I get closer to their launch dates.
Thank you for taking the time to read, and I hope I can chat more with you either on Instagram or at an upcoming consult.
Warmly,
Melanie
